Avengers: 9 Major Things Marvel Just Revealed In Vanity Fair

6. Mjolnir Is No More

As anyone who has seen Thor: Ragnarok will be painfully aware (or even the trailers really), Thor's iconic hammer Mjolnir is no more, having been crushed quite comically by Hela as a show of power.

Given it's importance to Thor as a character, you could have been forgiven for imagining that that was no more than a temporary thing. That he'd somehow get his favourite toy back as we head into Avengers: Infinity War, and the fact that it appears in the photo shoot probably did raise some suspicions.

But the feature makes it pretty clear that neither Mjolnir nor Thor's eye - which is plucked out by Hela in Ragnarok - will return for Infinity War. They're here (along with Thor's cape) probably in the interest of spoiler preservation. So, expect new weaponry and an eye-patch for the God Of Thunder.
